Neo
The pictures show that the woman works hard. She does lots of farming and makes food with the harvested grain for the boy.
Xiaoyu
But the boy plays with the food. It’s not right. We can’t waste food.
Yes! Here are two poems about saving food.
Pity the farmer by Li Shen
At noon they hoe up weeds;
Their sweat(汗) drips on the soil.
Who knows the rice on the plate;
Is the fruit of hard work.
The rice farmer by Saoirse McCann
The Sun is setting low, the red sky awelcoming sight;
The farmer stands silently(静静地) in the fading(变暗) light.
The fields are watered and planted, the buffaloes(水牛) are fed;
The only thing he thinks of now is finding home and bed.
A gentle wind is whispering(低语) of hope and dreams of life;
Every grain of rice requires(需要) such effort and such strife(困难).
Remember, when you sit and eat with family or friends,
All the many hours he works, as his fields he tends(照料).
Li Duo

日积月累
say no to food waste 拒绝食物浪费

The pictures show that the woman works hard.
这些图片展示了这位女士辛勤劳作。

任务一:
1. C 【细节理解】由聊天记录中尼奥的描述“The pictures show that the woman works hard. She does lots of farming...”及图片可知,图片中的女士最初在干农活。
2. C 【推理判断】图片展示了女士辛勤劳动和男孩浪费食物的画面,未涉及男孩在帮助女士的情景。
3. A 【细节理解】由 Pity the farmer 中的“At noon they hoe up weeds; Their sweat drips on the soil.”可知,《悯农》描述的是正午农民在田间辛苦劳作的场景。
4. C 【细节理解】由 The rice farmer 中的“The Sun is setting low, the red sky a welcoming sight...”可知,诗中描写的是太阳西沉、红霞满天的傍晚时分,即下午较晚的时候。
5. A 【推理判断】由 The rice farmer 中的“The fields are watered and planted, the buffaloes are fed...”可知,诗中描述了农民辛苦劳作了一天。由此可推知,农民当时只想着回家和休息,是因为他在一天的农活后感到疲惫。
6. B 【细节理解】由 The rice farmer 诗中内容可知,画线词“light”与诗中的“sight”押韵。
任务二:
7. waste 【推理判断】结合聊天主题(不浪费食物)及诗歌主旨(珍惜粮食)可推知,此处应为“不应浪费食物”。
8. hard 【主旨大意】综合全文可知,两首诗均强调粮食来之不易,是农民辛苦劳作的成果。
